Preprint method matches exact quantum test and anthracene spectrum

A computational chemistry preprint presents a time-dependent method for simulating resonance Raman spectra. It matched numerically exact calculations in a harmonic model and agreed well with an experimental anthracene spectrum, but the approach remains tied to harmonic assumptions and missed one peak associated with Herzberg–Teller coupling.

Preprint reports a single trajectory can generate spectra at multiple temperatures

An arXiv preprint reports a computational method that reuses one excited-state trajectory to calculate molecular vibronic spectra at different temperatures. It captured hot bands, broadening and peak structure in four molecular examples, but the authors state that the approach is not applicable when tunnelling or wavepacket splitting dominates the spectral shape.

Preprint model predicts battery mechanics may shift charging voltage by about 15 mV

A modeling preprint develops a reduced-order way to connect particle swelling, electrode stress and whole-cell constraints to lithium-ion battery electrochemistry. In deterministic simulations, the full multiscale model’s voltage contribution reaches approximately 15 mV at full charge, while a clamped scenario reaches about 16 mV.
